[Bug 984785] Re: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME

[Qianqian Fang]

I am not able to log on my computer (12.04), and I noticed that
everytime lightdm failed to log me in, there is a .goutputsteam-xxxx
file and a sedxxxx file created under my home directory.

my computer runs nis/autofs with a home directory mapped on a file
server.

I believe the bug I've seen is related to Bug #1004515, but not sure how
it is related to this bug. just post here in case someone can make sense
of it.
